Apple has released the first promo photo from the second season of "Foundation," as well as a cast list with new characters and returning characters.

First off, returning actors include Jared Harris as Hari Seldon; Lee Pace, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton as various Cleons; Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick; Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin; and Laura Birn as Demerzel. So, no surprises about who's coming back.
New characters include:
Also, for reference, the youngest Cleon we've met, the unfortunate colorblind lovesick teen, was Cleon the Fourteenth, so the Cleon the Sixteenth mentioned in the cast list would've been "born" sometime during the time-skip in the season one finale, and could be the incumbent Brother Day or Dusk when season two starts.

New characters include:
- Isabella Laughland as Brother Constant, a cheerfully confident claric whose job is to evangelize the Church of the Galactic Spirit across the Outer Reach. Constant is a true believer, whose courage and passion make her hard not to love.
- Kulvinder Ghir as Poly Verisof, High Claric of the Church of the Galactic Spirit. Whip-smart and sardonic, he’s also a terrible drunk — intelligent enough to see the path he’s on, but too cynical to change.
- Sandra Yi Sencindiver as Enjoiner Rue, the beautiful, politically savvy consigliere to Queen Sareth. A former courtesan to Cleon the 16th, Rue parlayed her status to become a royal counsellor.
- Ella-Rae Smith as Queen Sareth of Cloud Dominion. Used to being underestimated, Sareth employs it to her advantage, charming her way into the Imperial Palace with biting wit, all while on a secret quest for revenge.
- Dimitri Leonidas as Hober Mallow, a master trader with a sarcastic personality and questionable morals, who is summoned against his will to serve a higher, selfless cause.
- Ben Daniels as Bel Roise, the last great general of the Superliminal Fleet and would-be conqueror of the Foundation. Bel is noble to a fault, but his fealty to the Galactic Empire is waning.
- Holt McCallany as Warden Jaegger Fount, the current Warden of Terminus and guardian of its citizens against external threats.
- Mikael Persbrandt as The Warlord of Kalgan, a monster of a man, coiled with muscle and possessing powerful psychic abilities, and fueled by hate in his quest to take over the galaxy.
- Rachel House as Tellem Bond, mysterious leader of the Mentallics.
- Nimrat Kaur as Yanna Seldon.
